Newbie question - how to resize

Sorry for being a newb. Just got a Mac mini and have imported all my digital pics into iPhoto. I cannot for the life of me see an option to resize photos. I can see how to crop, but not resize. Please help!

Hi Just Jim,
You can import them back into the library if you wish. I personally would keep them separate in another folder in the Pictures folder (not iPhoto Library folder).
There is really no need to have smaller versions of the photos in iPhoto. It is always best to use the largest version of photos in iPhoto, especially if you want to print, do slideshows, make books etc. with the photos.

Newbie Question: How much computer do I need?

Newbie Question:
I would like to use MainStage 3 in a live performance environment to play bars, parties, etc. I'm not looping, using it to playback recordings, processing outboard equipment or vocal processing. I want to stop carrying Rolands, Nords, Korgs, etc and get to a controller and a rack with a Mac Mini in it.
I tested a download of Mainstage 3 on my home Mac Mini (late 2012, 3.5 Ghz i5, 4GB RAM, 500GB drive) and it seemed to run fairly well. $30 well invested so I trekked forward... I purchased a Mac Mini (late 2009, 2.52GHz Core 2 Duo, 6GB RAM, 128GB SSD) for $200. I started to do more elaborate keyboard setups to see how the CPU would hold up. It typically runs from 30% to 50% of capacity (CPU and Memory) It actually boots and runs better than the i5. I hear the occasion gitch, but it actually seems to be getting better in time (or I'm rock and roll deaf.
I got a rack, an Airport Express, a Radial USB interface and a Nektar Panorama P6. It's starting to get expensive, but I'm emboldened by the actual quality for the sound and the flexibility of arranging for live performance. What used to take me two and three keyboards to play, I can now fit on one performance patch.
OK, now the question... am I at the limits of this little Core 2 Duo? Should I upgrade the i5 with more RAM and a bigger SSD and use that? Should I get a new(er) i7 and bite the $1,500 bullet for the additional RAM and SSD?
I see that most of you are running pretty nice Macbook Pros with i7 and lots of everything. My needs are modest; am I OK?
BTW, I want to run a Mac Mini in a box because I don't want to carry a laptop out in the open. If I was doing bigger shows I wouldn't care but I play some rowdy bars and constantly have folks hanging off me while I'm playing. It's fun, but hard on gear. If you can't drop it or dip it in beer, it won't last long where I work.

Rule of thumb: newer and faster is better. But, depending the complexity of your needs you may be OK with an older Mac. Some glitches that happen in a live performance are due to loss of communication with USB or Firewire inputs, so make sure they're secure. I recently upgraded from a 2010 Mac Mini 2.6 dual core with 16 GB RAM, which was used live for nearly four years, to the latest Mac Mini 3.0 i7 with 16 GB RAM and a 500 GB SSD. I was getting an occasional stuck note with the older one. The new one is rock solid. Some of my patches may have up to a dozen channel strips mapped to three keyboards. The Mini is mounted in a rack next to a MOTU Ultralite Hybrid. It is a good idea to map a panic button on your keyboard to controller # 123(all notes off). Also, you might want to invest in a battery backup power supply(APC, Cyberpower, etc.-$40-$60) to protect your Mac against power loss, which can damage you hard drive.

Newbi Question: How does one create a similar page to this using APEX 3.1?

Hi,
I am trying to create a help document with screen shoots inside our APEX web application and I am hamstrung by the type of Region and Item objects available to me. When I tried to create HTML region I was limited to how much html characters I can put in the source. When I look into the item menu nothing seems to allow me to stick in large chunk of HTML code either.
A little searching on this forum and I came across this page: http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/apex/apex31nf/apex31blob.htm#t
It is exactly the type of page I want to create with lots of text and screen shots and I presume that it is built within APEX? So my questions is: How did they do this? Did they use tools available within APEX or some external tool? Was all this outputted using BLOB and Htp("") and PL/SQL? I am trying hard to avoid having to do that.
I was also unable to stick in an in image into my page using instruction from http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/appdev.310/e10499/ui.htm#CBBHGJCH which left me pretty frustrated. (external amazon gif worked).
Thanks for any help,
Wayne

Wayne,
I am glad that you got images to display. I am not sure what kind of html report you want to display, there is a limit of number of characters in a region its 32767 characters, so if you want to display large html file you can create html region with no template and limit each region to 30,000 characters and create as many region as you want.
If you want to display data from any table ( as per the first url) you can create SQL reports, something like
select ename
     , deptno
     , sal
     , case
          when ename = 'SCOTT' then '<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#us_flag.gif" alt="Image Title">'
          when ename = 'SMITH' then '<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#chants.gif" alt="Image Title">'
          when ename = 'MARTIN' then '<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#cloche.gif" alt="Image Title">'
          when ename = 'MILLER' then '<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#chandelles.gif" alt="Image Title">'
          when ename = 'JONES' then '<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#shoe.gif" alt="Image Title">'
          else '<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#hallo.gif" alt="Image Title">'
     end image

Newbie question: How do I set the input for a series of audio recordings to be different, if I only have a 2 channel interface?

I am using a 2 channel interface (Apogee Duet) and I can record a voice and guitar track fine. My question is how do I record a third audio track after the fact? It seems when I attempt to record an additional track, say bass for example, Logic treats it as though it is on input 1 or 2 (which hardware wise it is of course) and merges them in a sense. I don't know how to make it a seperate independant track, despite the fact that it was recorded through an input that I also used to record something else on a diferent track.
Thanks in advance, I very much appreciate any help.

Thanks for the response. I know it sounds ridiculously basic. Yes I am creating a new track and selecting it. The third track appears in the arrange window, but changes to, for example, the third track affect the 1st. Doesn't matter if it's a 1/4 inch guitar or XLR mic. Yes I'm listening to the headphone output from the Duet.
I think the fundamental problem is my not understanding something about mono/stereo, or prehaps input and output settings. I just can't seem to find the appropriate controls/settings.

Newbie question - how to save images out of an fla file

I have what I'm sure is a very basic flash question. I have a flash movie (swf) and the accompanying fla file. I can open the fla file, and see all the images used in the file (symbols in the library), but how can I export or save one of these images separately from flash?

you can right click, copy an image and then paste it into your choice of photoediting software.

Newbie question: how to monitor cluster disk drive free space

ok folks, it is a really painful process for me to use SCOM2007R2 and I figure it might be easier if I start to ask concrete questions.
1. I have a cluster server and I know some drives have only 10MB and they are not changing at all as I fixed them. How can I use Monitor/Rules so that I could receive Alert? I was told by our admin that SCOM only got triggered if status got changed
In my case, since the drive space will never get changed (fixed to 10MB left), I will never receive alert???
cheers
--Currently using Reporting Service 2000; Visual Studio .NET 2003; Visual Source Safe SSIS 2008 SSAS 2008, SVN --

"Logical disk free space" is the monitor that will be monitoring this.
Yes, SCOM will send alerts only when the Mbytes and % values of the free space ; mentioned in the monitor are met. You can configure this monitor by setting up correct Mbytes and % values to change the state of this monitor and thereafter you
will receive the alerts from this monitor.
Hope this helps.
Thanks, S K Agrawal

Newbie Question: How to organize program with lots of components

Hi,
After struggling through the basics of Swing programming, I've finally got my application to look like what I want. Now I have to deal with all the inputs and variables (which is the hard part ^_^).
I wonder how people usually organize numerous components and action listeners? I have a lot of fields that have to be synchronized frequently with a hardware device, and they are also adjustable by a number of menus.
Currently I've just stuffed all the listeners and actions as inner classes in my main display frame. I am hoping to create a separate class that can manage all these actions, or a more elegant way to organize my program.
For now I'm reading up on MVC (Model View Controller). Is that a good place to start? Or how about XML?
I know this isn't a very specific question, but I'd appreciate a push in the right direction ^_^
Thanks!
Cindy

I would look at MVC and its part - Observer pattern.

Newbe Question: How to get the Workflow Name to a WS* number?

Hi All
Just a short question:
I have a whole bunch of WS9*** numbers and now I am supposed to find the corresponding WorkFlows in a system (from a business perspective). The problem is that I have no clue on how to do this as I am reale new to WorkFlows.
Is there anybody who can help me out?
Thanks,
Regards,
Minima

Hello,
If you have access to PFTC_DIS, choose "Workflow template" for Task type and do a list of values on the Task field (which has the WS* number, but without the WS). This will give you the full list.
If you don't have access to PFTC_DIS, but do have access to SE16 or SE12, look in table
HRS1000 where OTYPE = WS and LANGU = EN.

Newbie question: how do I create a bokeh effect in PSE 8?

I am having trouble getting a blurred background effect in a portrait. Could someone please tell me how to do it. I've attached the example I am working on. All I want to do is to blur down the bricks behind the man's head, but I cannot seem to do it by creating a duplicate layer and then using the blur filter. Thanks for any help you can give.

The steps you describe are correct, so it sounds like a problem with the program. Is this a new problem or has it always been that way? Do you have this problem with other Blur tools or other Filters, or just the Gaussian Blur? You might want to post another forum topic titled "problem with Gaussian Blur"; more users are likely to read and respond to it.
You might try resetting the preferences file. This often corrects PSE problems which pop up for no apparant reason. I don't know if this works in PSE8, but there is how to do it in previous versions: Press and hold Option-Command-Shift immediately while starting PSE. The timing is critical; you may have to try this several times. A dialog box will pop up with the question "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings file?" (or similar message depending on the PSE version). Click YES.
Here are 2 sites which address the corrupted preferences file:

Newbie question - how to concatenate in EQL?

Sorry for such a simple question but the answer is eluding me in the documentation and samples. How do you concatenate two attributes in EQL?
I have looked at https://wikis.oracle.com/display/endecainformationdiscovery/Endeca+Query+Language+%28EQL%29 but there is not much info there. Is there EQL documentation somewhere online?
Thank you

Currently, string concatenation is not supported in EQL. You should perform this concatenation in the ETL by creating a new attribute to house the concatenated value. (e.g. YEAR_MONTH_FIELD = YYYY-MM )

Newbie question: How does one interrupt a running instance?

For example, suppose a 'process order' instance is waiting on a human approve an order, but prior to this task being processed, the customer cancels the order.

Hi,
As you said..
"Once control comes back to your process anyway you can terminate the process if order has been cancelled...."
My question is :
how the process comes to know that order has been cancelled as after processing one scope, flow will move to execute next activity.
How can the process get input for the cancelled order while running the flow for current order say create or mod?
Do we need to handle it in the flow depending upon the message type of the input file using cases? If so, then also how the process flow will come to know second message type (say cancelorder) while processing is taking place based on prior selected message type.
Please suggest....
Thanks
